We were yelling, “New Year, what brings us?”, around the first night of the year, at the preemies who crossed the road. Waiting for the foals, drunks, us. And as there was no runner or selfie yet, we would find most of the Russians who had gone out to put down the excesses of the dinner the night before, a crew of ready to renew the ritual of their eternal return through the New Year's Mountain, or, used to the daily routine of the coins on the way back and forth to the closed store, a few ruthless retirees.
At that time, the Primula vulgaris (sanjosé or spring flowers) were addivines of the primula. In mid-March, we saw the drapes of the trail covered, and as Garbiñe Larrea says in that beautiful book, “in the dark winter we were adorned and we were happy with the corners.”
The party begins, perhaps, when the little yellow flower appears in front of its boots. Before I see the first one, I am invaded by a kind of joy and I transform the date of my bliss on a designated day. I point to the day, making the photo, clicking, announcing to everyone else that I have seen the Sanjosé flower, going up the nets, post. Also in Orakunde’s request of the Carnival season, if you see the spring flowers, “we have seen them and they have started to be created on the road of the farmhouse and what a pity you were not there and look: I have brought you one”, my daughter will come to me right away. Larrea's story is that those of yesteryear were sating and eating a grain of flowers to gain the life force of the new season.
Let us teach that, before all books and school stories are extinct, there is care, also in nature. That the environment is present in rights and justice and in tangible things
I will also confess to you that I tend to match the year with floral creations; now, the sanjoses, then, one after the other, the lilies, the cuckoo pants, the marabiris, the orchids, the azafranes, and, on this side, the blossoming. And coming back to the year, again you bleed, the lilas, again ...
To this roundness of the times of nature, however, we have hardened its borders by the spread of pollution and the absorption of absorption. Two years ago, the first ones we saw for New Year’s Day and I thought with concern “Ño, this is a Rare Year.” The sand, which last year should have been the premium, has grown and have been created for the Saints on our shores, in full skin. So, seeing that such a nice thing can immediately announce his apocalypse, it scared me. Even the awakening of premature spring flowers has taken place in the same days of the cloudy waters and baskets of Valencia, of the plastic boats, of the fuel stains and of the badged corpses.
I've also pointed out the day, I've made the photo, I've clicked, I've announced in the surroundings, I've uploaded it to the networks, post, with concern, but what are we going to explain now to our children? Was there a flower called spring? Maybe. Was it a time of year called spring? Beware!
What did we learn to remember about the transience of names at the end of the 20th century? How could the handsome Atlas of the house smile as soon as he realized? Let us teach that, before all books and school stories are extinct, there is care, also in nature. That the environment is present in rights and justice and in tangible things. Everyone we eat with the sweat of the earth. Explain that ecocopías are feasible and that all trees and flowers have their name. So that after the winter there are lilies in primicia; primaries and lilies.

To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]

We Basques move our feet behind the witness of Korrika to proclaim that we want to survive as a Basque people in favor of our language, with the aim of the Basque Country we desire.

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]
Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
Eroso gaude ingurunea gure egoera fisiko/emozionalera egokitzen denean. Besteak ni kontuan hartu nauenean, izan gizaki bat, objektu bat, espazio bat. Erosotasunaren klabea produktu eta espazio diseinuan beharrizan handi gisa sartu da, erosotzat jotzen dena erosgarria delako... [+]
It is the habit of making decisions that will change our lives with the beginning of the new year. We make lists on three points: one, more sports practice; two, seeing old friends more often; three, going back to Iceland, real and metaphorically. As the months go by, we realize... [+]
Nafarroa Arenan Mitoaroa ikusten izandako lagun batek “telurikotzat” jo zuen entzun-ikusi-sentitutakoa. Niri ere hala iruditu zitzaidan telebista medio etxetik hauteman nuena.

There are three knots that complicate our coexistence in the Basques, and for many years, despite our patience and determination, we are unable to break free from these ties. There are at least three knots of the moment: prisoners, Basque, immigrants.
With the new year we are... [+]
Since Benito Lertxundi, who told us that he will leave the scenes for ever, we have been there for several weeks, and since then many of us have felt orphans in one way or another, with a sense of loss or abandonment, sad. To Iruindarro, at least, we will remain forever honored... [+]
Zirkulazioan lehentasunek garrantzi handia dute. Gidatzeko ikasten dugun lehen gauzatakoak dira: biribilguneak eta STOPak menperatu ezean nekez lortuko dugu gidabaimena.

Today, January 21, is a day to remember and reflect on an interesting ephemeris of our recent history. It is 50 years since the lockdown of 47 workers from Potase in Navarre. This lockdown, which lasted fifteen days, caused a general strike in Navarre, the Department of the... [+]
A couple of weeks ago, a number of data from Norway was published. In this country of Northern Europe electric cars have predominated, being the Tesla brand the most sold, with 90% of recyclable energy consumed there. On the contrary, Norwegian public enterprises have no problem... [+]
These were my last words when we left, held hand in your deep breathing sleep. Your heart stayed forever without a special, simple, dignified pain. As you want and demand. How we want and respect.
Already a month before the arrival of winter, the last days of the longest night,... [+]
